About

I'm a committed generalist with a professional background in institutional asset allocation and portfolio optimization, focusing mainly on fixed income and private markets.

I like to build tools and solve problems with code. A few years ago I embarked upon a quixotic quest to apply pretrained foundation models like BERT to Central Bank communications. Then OpenAI revealed the gargantuan scale required to obtain useful results with a general-purpose model that blows fine-tuned BERT out of the water. Since then I've been making peace with LLMs, learning how to use them to create knowledge while holding on to my scientific passion for truth.
